3 reviews for DOS Charros Restaurant
5-stars is setting the bar high, but I do think based on the food and service, they deserve a solid 4 1/2 stars. Always packed on the weekends and often quite busy on weekday evenings, Dos Charros will please even the most discriminating Tex-Mex connoisseur. In my opinion, you'll be very hard pressed to find better Mexican food for the same price in the area.
Whenever you go to eat at the 'Charros,' try not to fill up on the chips and salsa prior to getting your main entree. I don't know what drug they put in the salsa there, but it's to die for! It's got to be my favorite salsa from any restaurant in the DFW area. Bold claim, I know, but it's that good.
I recommend anything with the tequila cream (or just "cream") sauce on it. Very bueno stuff. My favorite is the enchiladas del mar plate (seafood enchiladas that contain shrimp and crab), especially when they're on special. My other recommendations include the chicken nachos (shredded, not fajita style) - beware, they will squirt juice on you if you aren't careful - and anything with fajita meat. If you do get fajitas or a dish with fajita meat, make sure you get it "blackened" or "spicy" (same thing) style for some extra kick! Margaritas are good but unpredictable. Sometimes they come watered down, and sometimes they come strong. You can never tell. They are good, however, any time they have a happy hour special going.
One last piece of advice: if the non-smoking section is full, even if you don't like smoke, go for a seat in the spacious smoking section. You'll have plenty of room, little of the hubbub, and likely not be anywhere near any smokers. Many non-smoking diners, including myself, retreat to this area to get away from feeling crowded or to escape the noise of the non-smoking section.
Went back and took my hubby this time. My friend raved about their enchiladas del mar the last time so that's what I had this time. It was on special so I thought why not. I added a flauta to my order because I am still on my quest to find the best flautas in the metroplex. The enchiladas tasted so light even though it was covered in sour cream sauce. The shrimp and crabmeat was flavorful and I was not disappointed. I can see why my friend liked this entree. The entree came with a side salad with a vinagrette style dressing and rice, no beans. Although I did miss the beans.
My hubby had the combination plate which included two enchiladas and a crispy beef taco with a side of rice and beans. I didn't taste his entree but he finished everything off his plate. He scraped all the rice and beans off that plate. He is not a fan of Mexican food like I am. So that tells me that he enjoyed his food a lot!
They don't have any spicy sauces but they did give us the option of jalepenos (fresh or pickled) on the side. We opted for the fresh jalepenos because they usually are more spicy.
We spent $15 for the both of our meals today. Great! I am going to have to come by for brunch on Sunday to try out their buffet.

I met up with a friend here for lunch today. She is from El Salvador and said this place is good.… Read more »
This place is a hole in the wall and easy to miss, but the food is good, the service is fas t & friendly and the prices are very reasonable. A few of us girls go from work 1-2 times a week. I like the noodle soup (not served all the time) and the spinach enchiladas with sour cream sauce. One of my girlfriends is a pescotarian and the restaurants menu can accomodate her diet.
Good lunch place
